Okur joins teammates Carlos Boozer and Kyle Korver, who also had the option of skipping the final year of their contracts and becoming free agents.

The fact that Okur and Boozer have decided to play out their contracts and become free agents in 2010 doesn't exclude them from moving to different teams. They can still be traded and Utah may have to trade one of them in order to keep Paul Millsap without paying so much in luxury taxes.
